Just my 2 cents but there is such a thing as too big, I have the 6 quart but only cook for a few people so the extra volume actually makes smaller recipes a bit tougher. Something to keep in mind as bigger isn't always better for everyone
The nylon gears are a feature! Stop with this demand for metal. When too much is demanded of something like a mixer, something has to give up the ghost. If you torque stall the motor and burn it out, or bend a shaft, or break an internal mount, or whatever... Thats a lot more expensive than the easily replaceable nylon gears. The gears are absolutely a selling point. They're super easy and cheap to replace. If you strip them you've either used the blender a LOT or you've stressed the mixer. It is like being angry about fuses being in your electrical circuits. "This circuit would be able to handle more capacity if I just jammed some pennies in here instead of a fuse".
Properly engineered, plastic gears are ABSOLUTELY a feature.
Costco one is not tilt head, if anyone is concerned. Personally, I don't like it, much difficult to use.
We have non tilt and we regret that part but the motor is typically stronger on those. Not like we need it as we don't do dough but I've gotten close to stalling it a bit.
Kohl's deal is better than this one.
You get $40 Johl's cash. if you use Kohl's credit card then an additional $15 reward and cash back website will give you $5. So total $60 savings.
Just paid $349 on Amazon for it in the blue velvet color. Birthday present for the wife. Pretty sure this was the other color she liked. The blue is going back. Thanks OP!

Bigger isn't always better. I prefer the 3.5 or 4.5 quart versions because they handle small batches better. 6 quart never worked for small stuff
It works great for small batches id you have the bowl scrapper/beater blade. I don't have any issue doing a small batch of cookies, batter, or bread leaf.
When/where is this information coming from? I've been waiting for metal gears for over 10 years.

Who's demanding anything??? I fully understand about the nylon gearing reasons. I was just replying to another's post about metal gears being implemented and that I've been waiting for such a thing for over 10 years. It just so happens that in this particular space and regarding this particular mixer, the nylon gearing has been a point of contention for over a decade that I am aware of.
